sure, you've probably heard their big hit pepper, but here's another song from the butthole surfers called the shame of life that you'll probably enjoy way more than you think you will.
i've included the lyrics because i think they're important and also because when they pop like they're supposed to against the music, with the intensity of sound augmenting their true intent, they are the way we ingest poetry. and because so much of this process is subconscious -- people quite often find themselves singing lyrics they don't necessarily agree with -- it's often fascinating to read what so many are walking around and singing to themselves.
enjoy.
lyrics:
i love the girls and the money and the shame of life
my shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
there were girls in the front and there were girls in the back
and there were girls pettin' squirrels and there were squirrels smokin' crack
with an old navy seal and the DEA
and the loaded automatic just to blow me all away
with a dog drinkin' liquor from a hole in the sky
and the picture of a pitcher throwin' pitches at a guy
he had a problem with your sister and her 3D cups
and a brother with a shovel just to shake it all up
i love the girls and the money and the shame of life
hop down to the people on the street where the fuzz in the navel make the people wanna eat
my shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
get down to the level of the rest where the people on the street put the metal to the test
locomotive in the bridge will land a knuckle in a fight
and i was hidin' in the bushes but i couldn't stand the light
and he was highly indisputable the leader of the gang
like a bullet in the freezer bang, bang
i love the girls and the money and the shame of life
hop down to the people on the street where the fuzz in the navel make the people wanna eat
my shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
get down to the level of the rest where the people on the street put the metal to the test
get down, get down
get-- get--dow-- dow-- dow-- down
invisibility is a relative thing
I was all shaken up after i got shaken down
i was shakin' in the air and i was shakin' on the ground
i was taken by the shaker who was preachin' to the crew
he was shakin' lotsa bacon cook an egg in his shoe
and believing all the stereos begin to sing a tune
yo cuz we were just a vision in a dream about a shoe
that was walkin' to the store to find a needle for a soul
that had lost a little reason through a little tiny hole
i love the girls and the money and the shame of life
hop down to the people on the street where the fuzz in the navel make the people wanna eat
my shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
get down to the level of the rest where the people on the street put the metal to the test
i love the girls and the money and the shame of life
hop down to the people on the street where the fuzz in the navel make the people wanna eat
my shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
get down to the level of the rest where the people on the street put the metal to the test
